Fantasy is best when it feels real....



   "Armond  scaled  a  large  stone  trying  in  vain  to  close  in  on  the  source  of  the  blaze,  but  his  advance  fell  back  at  the  sound  of  wings.  The  fire  suddenly  rose  into  the  cloud  supported  by  a  large  shadowy  form.  Then  it  fell  forward  with  speed,  lunging  towards  the  others..."

I had the honor of reading several chapters of Passage of the Acolyte. It’s descriptive detail brings the story to life. Mr. Vargo is an imaginative, entertaining writer. I would recommend this book to all readers, not just fans of fantasy/sci-fi. Can’t wait to read the finished product!

Best of Luck!! Karen

What have you created today?

A little dryness in writing needs -- inspiration. It's not too far away. Look around, look it up, look within. Be inspired. Now write something.

Things I'd like to say

Mont Eldalard and Rivar Larin, Seat of Ainiald (Chapter 10)  (ok, it's really Prague, or maybe Budapest, but they have their similarities)    I have to admit, finding a sale pop up, and they do trickle in slowly, is the inspiration needed to keep going.  I write slowly, time constraints mostly, and as chapter two of book three stares me in the face, it makes me think -- "will anyone like my series?" Heck, does anyone like this blog? But I march forward. Maybe I'll be next Herman Melville whose Moby-Dick found popularity long after his death. Somber thought. I could give writing tips, like a lot of blogs do, or marketing advice, or how to find an agent, but what the heck do I know. But I do have a story to tell, and I hope you like it. If you don't like it, that's ok...we're still friends.    All right, back to chapter two. "Andro entered a favorite place in the forest..." 

My Pages! Beginnings...or Chapter One.

The blog is evolving. As I learn, and there is so much to learn,  my attempt is to peak interest in my storytelling. Up until now I just put links here and there, but now I have seperate Pages  (above)  to show things like Maps and Reviews. Beginnings is Chapter One in one piece.  The Createspace sample was ugly and hard to read. On the blog it looks kinda nice.  Passage of the Acolyte, I will admit, is a patient read; but not obnoxiously long-winded or boring. You be the judge. Once you find yourself settled, the ride may be a pleasant one.  Check it out and see for yourself. (go ahead....click it)
